In many ways, creating your GDPR Data Protection Policy is the easy part. As the May deadline approaches, the real work begins on finding all your Privacy Data not only in databases but also GDPR content scattered across file shares, desktops and other storage repositories around the world.

On May 25 the long-awaited General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will go into effect across Europe. GDPR is the biggest overhaul of data protection laws in more than two decades. How prepared is your organization for GDPR?

Join this interactive panel of experts as they discuss:
- What is GDPR?
- Why should you be GDPR-compliant?
- How to achieve compliance?
- Steps your organization should take today to prepare for GDPR
- Other GDPR considerations

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a key legislation covering privacy rights, data security, data control, and governance, is going into effect in May 2018. As organizations are scrambling to achieve GDPR compliance before the May 25th deadline, some are still not clear on the exact GDPR requirements.

Join this panel of experts as they discuss:
- The regulatory landscape in 2018
- What GDPR means for you and your organization
- GDPR requirements around data collection and governance, exposure and breach disclosure, identity and privacy
- Evaluating your cyber risk
- Last minute changes your organization needs to make
- Failure to comply & fines
- Recommendations for achieving compliance and other regulation on the horizon.

In many ways, having your Data Protection Policy in place is not necessarily the last mile, but the first. In order to be fully GDPR-compliant, you need to understand where all of your information is, where your privacy data lives and how it’s being secured.

Join Tom Mighell, VP of Delivery Services at Contoural as he discusses the roadmap you need to follow to achieve full compliance before the May 25th deadline.

Topics will include:
• Strategies to execute your policy
• How to train everyone in your organization to be aware of privacy requirements
• Appointing a Data Protection Officer to manage your privacy program for your organization
• Steps your organization needs to take now to be ready

This webinar covers the various legislation and policies, at a European level as well as their application in four different countries, namely: United Kingdom, Netherlands, Germany and France. Legislation and Policies have an important role to play to steer, stimulate and support new products and services but also new business models.

The new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) rule looms and will take affect in May 2018, but only a third of companies are on track to be compliant by the due date. GDPR is the most significant change in data privacy regulation in more than 20 years. It represents an extraordinary shift in the way businesses will be expected to operate when they gather, process, maintain, and protect customer data. Any organization that retains information of EU citizens must be in compliance or face huge fines of up to 4% of worldwide turnover.

In this webinar series you will hear from industry experts facing the same challenges you face and find out how they're meeting and surpassing critical implementation check points, and you will learn what actions other organisations are taking preparation for data protection – not only for GDPR, but for long-term data protection.

One of the big priorities for companies in 2018 is to achieve compliance. GDPR is going into effect in May, but even before that new new PCI DSS 3.2 requirements are set to become operational in February. According to the PCI SSC, these requirements were previously considered to be 'best practices' until January 31, 2018, after which compliance with them becomes mandatory. Although this is not connected to GDPR, companies that implement this standard will be some way to becoming GDPR compliant, at least as far as payments are concerned. E.g. In PCI DSS 3.2., multi-factor authentication (MFA) becomes mandatory, offering retailers and other companies a way of protecting customer personal details.

Join the PCI Dream Team as they discuss:
- What are the new PCI DSS 3.2 requirements?
- Who needs to be PCI DSS 3.2 compliant?
- What is the impact on data protection and cyber security?

Digitization has become deeply embedded in enterprise strategy, as nearly all businesses and activities have been slated for digital transformations. The significant advantages of digitization, with respect to customer experience, revenue, and cost, have become increasingly compelling, and we are starting to see digital transformations in risk create real business value by improving efficiency and the quality of risk decisions.

The state of risk management at most global, multiregional, and regional banks is abundant with opportunity. Current processes are resource intensive and insufficiently effective, as indicated by average annual fines above $400 million for compliance risk activities alone. By improving the efficiency and effectiveness of current risk-management approaches, digital risk initiatives can reduce operating costs for risk activities by up to 30 percent, and a digitized risk function can provide better monitoring and control and more effective regulatory compliance. On this webinar our panel of experts will discuss digital innovations for risk management success.

As the number of internet-connected devices skyrockets into the billions, a data security strategy is an increasingly important part of any organization’s ability to manage and protect critical information. Enterprises are migrating to the cloud in droves, however, protecting data in the cloud remains a challenge as employees push to access cloud apps from any device, anywhere. In the last year alone, 1 in 3 organizations were hacked more than 5 times, and with the increased number of attacks the financial cost of security incidents is also rising.

In many cases, breaches are caused by a combination of benevolent insiders, targeted attacks, and malicious insiders. For example, targeted attacks are often enabled inadvertently by well-meaning insiders who fail to comply with data or security policies, which can lead to a data breach. In this webinar, our panel will discuss major trends impacting cyber security – from the rising frequency of attacks and types of threats that organizations should be concerned about the most, and they will adress the risks, priorities, and capabilities that are top of mind for enterprises as they migrate to the cloud.

Over 90% of the world’s data has been generated in the last few years. Accompanying this rapid growth in data comes exponential risks, as witnessed by the spike in cyber attacks of which no organization seems immune. The financial rewards gained by the perpetuators of cyber attacks is blatant, and this is driving continued attacks on companies containing massive amounts of consumer data. For these companies securing data is only half the battle. The risks can be greater when data is transmitted externally, hence it is critical that organizations know where sensitive data is going, how it is being transmitted, and how it is being handled and stored.

On this webinar our panel of experts will discuss some of the best practices organizations can consider to reduce the risk of suffering from a data breach, and to proactively prepare for any subsequent breach that could happen.

Fraud detection is a classic adversarial analytics challenge: As soon as an automated system successfully learns to stop one scheme, fraudsters move on to attack another way. Each scheme requires looking for different signals (i.e. features) to catch; is relatively rare (one in millions for finance or e-commerce); and may take months to investigate a single case (in healthcare or tax, for example) – making quality training data scarce.

This talk will cover a code walk-through, the key lessons learned while building such real-world software systems over the past few years. We'll look for fraud signals in public email datasets, using IPython and popular open-source libraries (scikit-learn, statsmodel, nltk, etc.) for data science and Apache Spark as the compute engine for scalable parallel processing.

David will iteratively build a machine-learned hybrid model – combining features from different data sources and algorithmic approaches, to catch diverse aspects of suspect behavior:

Apache Spark is used to run these models at scale – in batch mode for model training and with Spark Streaming for production use. We’ll discuss the data model, computation, and feedback workflows, as well as some tools and libraries built on top of the open-source components to enable faster experimentation, optimization, and productization of the models.
